    Actually if Floyd does that this fight won't happen either. I think PAC will agree to 50/50 given his firm stance with the hatton negotiations! Which is fair considering both men are the P4P kings of the world of boxing. PAC present, Floyd as of Last year! and never lost that title in the ring. both are draws. This will be interesting.

    That would be "IRONY"....if Ricky fights Floyd in a rematch and leaves all the BIG money on the table for RICKY and FLOYD! That would be a kick in the coin pouch for PAC and his team. I'd love to see Marg vs PAC though :think I see PAC getting KO'd >..BUT!! I see PAC winning a lot of rounds ala Cotto until he starts going toe to toe with the bigger mexican.

    Pac will have to accept the 60-40 with mayweather thats his only other option to make big money, every man and his dog wants to fight mayweather and once he becomes p4p no1 again where will that leave pac?

    I know Hatton looses to floyd again...and again...and again should they ever have to fight that many times.

    With PAC.....its a toss up! I'd still lean towards Floyd...skills pay the bills, but PAC has talent that is on level with Floyd...speed, reflexes and an edge in power. workrate and intelligent pressure is troublesome for Floyd. There are far more posititves working for PAC than Ricky unfortunately.

    Manny has to get rid of those leeches surrounding him. I doubt we'd even be discussing about this if not for them.

    That's unfair to say considering PAC's incredible resume and schedule he's had for the last 5 yrs or so. He's not one who ducks or looks for easy fights. They gave DLH the same **** for years which was unwarranted. I'm just as disgusted as you the way PAC conducted "Business' or lack ther of...but I won't discredit his outstanding career and accomplishments just b/c I don't agree with his business practices. He shot himself in the foot! But ****ed the fans over from a great fight.

    Is he going to get a replacement ego before he 'goes after' Floyd, or is he going to demand 60/40 there too?

    No way I see that fight getting signed...

    :good I agree! Ricky did more than enough to TRY and make this fight a reality....but he has his own principles and standards. Ricky won't be known as the one who killed this fight. The fans are the ones getting shafted b/c this was going to be explosive! We can thank PAC for that. But I don't agree that he was ducking Ricky. He's not scared of Ricky that's for sure.....he's jsut working with an over sized ego.

    I think he'll agree to 50/50....BOTH FLOYD and PAC have some oversized egos and they'll have to meet in the middle. B/c there isn't the "WILD CARD" that Ricky held by being a massive draw in the UK with pretty much his "own" Ricky hatton following and Money....Floyd and PAC have to split this down the middle! If PAC tries the 60/40 bit you are right...it won't happend. But Floyd was in PAC's position just a year ago and surely PAC understands that! Both men are on level playing feilds with their popularity and status in the world of boxing...Two P4P Kings!

    The negiotiations between these two P4P Champs of "EGOs" would be a fight in itself....probably a pretty entertaining one that never took place in the ring!:rofl PAC would probaly counter 75/25 as a response!
